Reading The Need for Roots | Alexandria
Read The Need for Roots by Simone Weil. Upending notions of rights-based justice, Weil's radical thesis links genuine freedom to fulfilling obligations to others - not claiming entitlements for ourselves. Her wartime insights reveal how rootlessness breeds totalitarianism, while true liberty springs from serving community needs. An essential wake-up call for reconnecting to what nourishes the soul.
